Fulham piled more pressure on troubled Sunderland boss Peter Reid as they cruised to a 3-0 victory at the Stadium of Light this afternoon.

Japan World Cup star Junichi Inamoto was in outstanding form for Fulham as the struggling Wearsiders were completely outplayed and slipped to their third Premiership defeat of the season.

Inamoto opened the scoring with his sixth goal of the campaign in the 34th minute before the Cottagers moved up a gear after the break.

Barry Hayles capitalised on poor defending to add a second nine minutes into the second half and Steve Marlet prompted a mass exodus from the home fans with the third on 78 minutes.

Things are looking much better for Arsenal, who marched on at the top of the table with a 3-0 win at Charlton.

French internationals Thierry Henry and Sylvain Wiltord and Edu were the men on target as the champions extended their phenomenal Premiership goalscoring record into a 45th consecutive game.

The Gunners were frustrated for most of the first half but Henry put them on their way after good work by Dennis Bergkamp in the 44th minute.

Arsenal looked better after the break and hit the post through Kolo Toure but it took Wiltord's seventh goal in seven games midway through the second half to kill off the Addicks. Edu made sure with a header in the dying moments.

Emile Heskey scored a dramatic late winner as Liverpool as avoided a fourth consecutive 2-2 draw against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium.

It seemed another case of deja vu for the Reds, held by late equalisers from Blackburn, Newcastle and Birmingham in their last three games, when Ivan Campo levelled in the dying moments.

But Heskey had the final say as Liverpool immediately grabbed a winner. The goal was an immense relief for boss Gerard Houllier, whose side looked on course for victory after two goals from young Czech star Milan Baros.

Baros opened the scoring on his full debut late in the first half before adding a second after Ricardo Gardner had equalised.

Chelsea's fine start to the season also continued as they ran out convincing 3-0 winners over Newcastle at Stamford Bridge.

Eidur Gudjohnsen scored his first goals of the season either side of a deflected free-kick from the influential Gianfranco Zola.

Everton came from behind to chalk up their second win of the season courtesy of two goals from Kevin Campbell.

In-form striker Szilard Nemeth shot Middlesbrough into a deserved lead after just 11 minutes at Goodison Park but Campbell levelled 20 minutes later.

The former Arsenal and Nottingham Forest man then secured all three points when he clipped the home 13 minutes from time.

Sean Gregan scored an extraordinary winner as West Brom continued their good start to life in the top flight with a 1-0 win at Southampton.

Gregan's speculative long-range shot brightened up a dull game when it ended up in the back of the net after Paul Jones mistake.

Southampton's woe was compounded when Paul Williams was sent off for an innocuous offence soon after.

Leeds were the day's other winners after beating rivals Manchester United after an early kick-off at Elland Road.

Harry Kewell headed the only goal of the game midway through the second half.
